Hey, I almost forgot to annouce the winners of my contest! Turns out we have two winners and an honorable mention, which works out nicely since we only had three contestants (hee hee).
Cara was our top scorer, answering every question perfectly. That, of course, is frightening, because it means she thinks like me. I'm sorry for you, Cara, but glad you participated.
TSJ was our next highest rated scorer, answering 5 out of 6 questions correctly.
Rae is our honorable mention, and she wins just for being the first to play. Thanks, Rae!

I'm honored to think like you, Thieme! Though I admit I had to check with my husband to get the precise wording of the Monty Python quotes. I know them more or less, but he's one of those obsessive guys who at the drop of a hat -- okay, no, he doesn't need that much reason, does he? -- actually, for no reason at all, will start reciting lengthy Monty Python routines. And not just the famous ones either. (I have mostly broken him of this habit.) :-)
Cara
Let me guess. Is your husband an engineer or computer guy? For some reason, they've all memorized every Monty Python routine ever performed. Don't know what that makes me...
TJB
Well, Thieme, he's a quantum physicist -- almost as good! :-)
